Kim Rodrigues Poet Verse

I Know Not Horses

i know not horses,
yet saddled with one,

i ascertain courage and confidence.
i learn to let go.

i must trust his hooves —
they clip clop like lady’s heels.

we bounce together,
follow the trail —

i know not this stranger’s mane
nor the length of his body,

nor his tale.
and he knows not mine

nor cares.
like a taxi driver

he ferries me winsomely,
charmingly.

once one lusted
to swallow the creek, far below.

i aptly say, “oh no you don’t!”
and restrain his reins.

i know not horses, though
one or two have carried me.
